So you walk through the gates, and you’re onto the beach,” he notes. This seamless transition from resort to shore is a feature that makes the Radisson Grenada Beach Resort a standout choice for travelers. From the moment guests arrive, they are enveloped in a warm and inviting atmosphere. A scenic drive up a 300-meter-long driveway, flanked by tennis courts, leads to a covered entrance. “Our bellmen are ready to assist with your luggage, ensuring a hassle-free check-in,” Reeves shares.“You can choose to check in at one of our counters or be greeted with a refreshing cold drink, a small gesture to start your stay on a high note.” The resort exudes a casual, friendly atmosphere, ideal for those seeking a relaxed Caribbean escape. “We do not market ourselves as a luxury resort because we’re not,” Reeves admits candidly. “We are a four-star resort but offer an amiable atmosphere. It’s very casual, very typically Caribbean.
